Re: New Member Questions Reply #16 – October 05, 2005, 10:48:17 AM to be honest with ya bro, we've had members with some serious clunkers, and some serious shiznit buckets, but tbirds/cougars are what we do, so having a few pics of a clunker is still pretty cool, because theres still interest in it, and yours will have potential if youre looking to build a race car Quote Selected
Re: New Member Questions Reply #17 – October 05, 2005, 12:47:28 PM like any fox bodied ford, it is as fast as you pay it to be. the 5.0 in these are pretty weak, but if you get a doner motor, or a 351 outa a van or truck, build it up a bit and toss on some boost they can be a mean drag car. I bit longer so they are a bit more stable under power and you can lighten up a bunch. would be differnt than a mustang that is for sure. Quote Selected

If you insist on having that thing in your sig please downsize it alot. I'm no moderator but jeesh have some respect... put a pic of your tbird on here.Have a little respect? :disappoin I'm thinking I should change my sig to this.Get over it, man. He can post his car if he wants. At least he's willing to accept and appreciate another brand, unlike yourself. Something I like to call an enthusiast. Notice he didn't come in here talking shiznit.Oh, and welcome to the board, man. It'll be nice to have another non-Ford fanatic on the board who can't help but like T-birds. :) Quote Selected

Re: New Member Questions Reply #21 – October 05, 2005, 03:14:31 PM Ah hell....ive seen worse man. doesnt look like rust has gotten the best of it yet.... plenty of hope and potential left in it. as specially if your gonna gut it for use as a drag car... Quote Selected
Re: New Member Questions Reply #22 – October 05, 2005, 03:40:38 PM That's not that bad. It looks pretty rust free, actually, excluding where it looks like it hit a high curb on the left front fender.And it's an '87-88. The '86 is a four eye. Quote Selected
Re: New Member Questions Reply #23 – October 05, 2005, 03:42:46 PM well as a drag car, you don't need console, dash cap and you'll replace that shifter anyway. not too bad, doesnt' look like a rust bucket and her stance is pretty straight. that 5.0 SO will have to be upgraded, but that is not too hard nor expensive (relatively).needs a bit of tlc but not bad over all if you didn't pay too much for her.

Re: New Member Questions Reply #24 – October 05, 2005, 03:48:16 PM Love the rim's did u atleast get 2 of the smae kind of rim with it.Not to bad a car if you looking to build a race car out of it.Good thing is u realy dont have any big dents or rust holes from the way the pics look.Dash is dead and seats look like . I had a 87 3.8 bird given to that was a red on red and i parted it out.I dont how much money u have in the car as it sits right now but if u wanted to fix up some of the car u get most of the parts for these car cheap. If motor and drive train work well maybe sell it and keep your eyes open for another one or look into 80 82 stang for a drag car. There are so many roads u can go when you are thinking of building a drag car.1980 TR7 with 302 Hint hint LOL Quote Selected
Re: New Member Questions Reply #25 – October 05, 2005, 04:02:26 PM check out http://www.coolcats.net with the H.O. conversion and that will get you to stock mustang specks, maybe a mid 15 second or so car for just a few hundered dollars. then from there on out you can just checkout the mustang boards and lie ant tell htem it is a stock mustang and that you need pointers. mustang guy dont like us for some reason..... welcome to the board, I dont mind a dodge here and there.

Re: New Member Questions Reply #27 – October 05, 2005, 06:55:02 PM I payed about $7,000 for the car the other day...Just screwing with you, I got it for free. Anything under like 6,000 is cheap for me to spend on building the car. Does have a weird smell though... :toilet: Quote Selected
Re: New Member Questions Reply #28 – October 05, 2005, 06:59:54 PM Thats a good price.I would like to see more of the TT if u have time to post.I have a good vid of my cougar pumping a AWD talon on a roll as well as from a dead stop. Quote Selected
Re: New Member Questions Reply #29 – October 05, 2005, 09:35:00 PM Looks like a decent bird to start with. The Birds can't weight much more than the stang. Back when the Turbo Coupe came out it would take the same year v8 stang. Besides the bird was designed for Nascar. It still holds the fastest time and top speed at Daytona & Talledega. That should tell you how stable it is at high speed. Also with the added wheel base you got better highway feel. Besides with a Ford you can't loose the name says it all First On Race Day. Thats what counts! Quote Selected
